The BBC's latest revamp of The Woman In White – based on the classic Victorian mystery story by Wilkie Collins – kicked off on Sunday night.
The psychological drama sees former EastEnders star Ben Hardy taking on the role of Walter Hartright, an art teacher whose encounter with the titular woman sparks off a chain of unexpected events.
It's the latest role for the young actor who's enjoyed plenty of big and small screen since his stint in Albert Square launched his career.
Ben, who was born on January 2 1991 in Bournemouth, first found fame on the stage when he appeared alongside Rupert Everett in The Judas Kiss, which initially opened at the Hampstead Theatre in 2012 before transferring to the West End.
Despite his nerves the producion was well-received by the critics – although it was his next role which saw Ben's star rise, as he landed the part of Peter Beale in EastEnders, taking over from actor Thomas Law who had previously played Peter.
Ben appeared onscreen from June 2013 until February 2015 – and was one of the main players in the show's 'who killed Lucy Beale' storyline, which formed an integral part of the soap from April 2014 until the following February.
Although Lucy was found dead in April 2014, the story reached a peak several months later with a week of live episodes as part of the show's 30th anniversary celebrations – with Bobby Beale eventually being unmasked as her killer.
The dramatic story eventually saw Peter being revealed as his sister's drug dealer, to stop her from becoming involved with more dangerous dealers – leading to Ian Beale disowning him.
The character eventually left for New Zealand with pregnant girlfriend Lauren Branning, after learning the truth about Lucy's death.
Ben's post-EastEnders career has proven very promising, with roles in Archangel in X Men: Apocalypse, as well as appearances in movies A Storm In The Stars and Only The Brave.
He'll also play Roger Taylor in the upcoming Freddie Mercury biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, due for release later this year, with another movie, Mary Shelley, out this summer.
Meanwhile, The Woman In White sees Ben back on TV – although he maintains a return to EastEnders isn't on the cards any time soon.
'Probably not, to be honest with you,' he said last year when asked if he might go back.
One thing he may be seeing in his future though is marriage – the actor has a long-term girlfriend, Katriona Perret, and told OK! last year that he can see them tying the knot.
The Woman In White continues on BBC One on Sunday night at 9pm.
